Memorial Day ceremonies were held across the U.S.A. and around Rome and Floyd County on Monday to pay tribute to the military personnel who gave their lives in service to our country.
Local veteran John Fortune, a member of the Rome Exchange Club and the American Legion Post 52, states that some people paid the ultimate price for our freedom, and it is important to honor them.
The Exchange Club hosted their annual Memorial Day program at the Coosa Valley Fairgrounds in Rome on Monday. Services were also held in Shannon and Cave Spring.
